A Summer Spritz

Happy Friday Lovelies!

I believe I may have stumbled on my drink of the summer, All. I’m a savory chick so I love a good gin martini. But, this is no ordinary martini. It’s so light and refreshing. Grab a coupe and let’s go…

what you do:

Fill your coupe with ice (I love a huge ice ball myself) and simply throw everything in the glass. Run the lemon peel around the rim, and drop in a few olives. I always use three. An even number is bad luck and…I don’t like even numbers.

The secret to this one is the olive oil. It adds so much richness. Also, when it comes to gin, I used Broker’s. Why? Their marketing won be over because the bottle has a top hat. Who can pass that up? Not this girl.

Also, also, don’t like gin? Use vodka. Easy fix.

So who’s coming for martinis?

Have a wonderful Friday and have some good sips this holiday weekend!

Capri in a Cup

Hey Fab Friends!

Every time I sip Limoncello I am immediately transported to the Amalfi Coast in Capri where I had tried it for the first time. I was blown away! If you aren’t into sipping an Aperol Spritz this summer, try one of these delicious limoncello drinks! They are really fast and completely hit the spot on a hot summer day.

what you do:

Simply add limoncello, vodka, and lemon juice to your chosen glass and then top with champagne and garnish. Then immediately head to the patio to enjoy!

This has really been my summertime cocktail. So refreshing. Garnishing it with fresh basil really adds another fresh element.

Next up!

Another easy one. And here is what you do: add equal parts : limoncello, vodka, and lemonade and throw those over ice and enjoy!

These drinks are perfect for wrapping up another summer in the sun. I hope after reading this you head to the store for some limoncello! I also hope that this fabulous Friday meets you with a some fun and a delicious, chilled cocktail!

“Why’s the Rum Always Gone?”

Happy Friday! We made it!

This post is going to be verrrrry fast and to the point today because this girl hasn’t had time for anything! I’ve been following the Johnny Depp trial and today finally are the closing arguments. I only thought it appropriate to do a “Pirates” themed cocktail.

I’m super sad Johnny won’t be involved with the Pirates franchise anymore so so pay a little homage to that, I give you the “Why’s the Rum Always Gone” cocktail. This super easy drink recipe is perfect for summer days and it makes such a pretty color thanks to one of my favorites Blue Curaçao.

Simply add everything to a glass with ice and enjoy!

Have the best Memorial Day weekend!
